Guest guest Posted February 13, 2001 Report Share Posted February 13, 2001 I am also having blurred vision that comes and goes, I was wondering if it could be the celebrex, When I was on 5mg of pred. My left eye become very blurred, I could not see out of it for about 4-6 weeks then my vision came back. I getted blurred vision alot. Bobbie Re: [ ] Help ME understand Shelby, Unfortunately I have also been recently diagnosed with AIH, and do not know the exact answers regarding the meds, but, I have also had problems regarding blurred vision. I actually started to have problems with my vision in December prior to being diagnosed and it is weird because it comes and goes. I am going to my eye doctor tomorrow because I am experiencing this again, but never associated it with the AIH...Maybe my eyes have been telling me something??? I am also aware of a autoimmune condition called Sjordgen's which causes dry eyes and mucus membranes. The common treatment for this is by using rewetting drops such as artificial tears. You might want to ask your doctor if this is what you have. I am now. I hope I helped...I am still new at this!!! Thanks, Pam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2001 Report Share Posted March 20, 2001 Pam, regarding blurred vision -- I can answer only anecdotally, as I don't remember where I've read this, but I believe blurred vision is rather common with Prednisone. However, one must watch for glaucoma and cataracts, which can result from high/prolonged Prednisone use. My blurred vision improved greatly as the dose decreased.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2001 Report Share Posted March 20, 2001 Pam, Blurred vision is a relatively common side effect of high doses of pred. But...all but one of my docs, including my ophthalmologist, were not aware of it!! As Harper pointed out, it is important to be checked for glaucoma and cataracts when on pred...again, most docs don't warn you to do this. You also should be checked for diabetes. I developed glaucoma, diabetes, and hypertension from long term, high doses of pred. I suffered needlessly for several years because my PC didn't know to check for those things. Once I was dx'd with them, they were easily controlled, and they have now completely resolved themselves. I still have some problems with blurred vision when I'm tired, but most of the time it is back to normal. Pred will also cause changes in your eyeglass Rx. I was cautioned NOT to get new glasses because the Rx is too variable while on pred.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2001 Report Share Posted March 20, 2001 Hi Dawn, If your blood levels are normal, that means that the auto Immune is under control and that it isn't attacking your liver. And the reason why you need to keep taken the med's is cos it keeps the disease at bay. If your bloods are ok, then there is no need to have a biopsy, you'll probably need one when your levels are high. As for the blurry vision, this may be a side effect of the pred.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2001 Report Share Posted March 20, 2001 I see alot of e-mails regarding high blood pressure and blurred vision This is my experience 1. I was suffering from severe head aches 2. My blood pressure was high for the first time in my life 3. I suffered with blurred vision. Apparently predisone increases the pressure of the fluid that runs up your spine and into your brain (I think it is called ucranial fluid). With this increased pressure it causes the head aches, high blood pressure etc. My specialist checked the back of my eyes and found the veins where not as they should be, and then sent me to a neuroligist who did a Lumbar Puncture. The pressure was slightly raised but not dangerously high. They prescribed Diamox which I take everyday now and it has made a huge difference for me. My 2 cents worth RE: [ ] Help ME understand Pam, Blurred vision is a relatively common side effect of high doses of pred.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2002 Report Share Posted January 7, 2002 Before I became very sick with Lyme I had it together enough to be all things to all people. Now those same people expect me to be the same person because I " don't look sick " . I can't even help myself and I am totally unable to help others. I have pushed most of my friends and relatives away because I can't cope with their requirements. They need me to be pleasant, available, energetic, appreciative and, in general, " normal " . I'm not normal and I don't want to have to deal with normals' demands. Maybe that's how she feels. Rita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2002 Report Share Posted January 7, 2002 I wish my friends would understand that my nap is more important than life & I can't clean the house and sleep at the same time. It's a pain in the ass to go somewhere because by the time I'm there I need my nap. I just want to go to bed. I don't want to have to do what normals do. It would be nice if someone would want to do something for me without getting anything in return. It would be nice to have emotional support.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2002 Report Share Posted January 8, 2002 Hi Ant, I'm SO SORRY about your wife leaving. If you've been reading on here you know I can totally relate to your pain. Only the circumstances are reversed with you being the well one and her being the sick one. You asked what people want from friends and family. Number one is absolutely emotional support. Believe that we are sick with a physical illness. Believe that we have Lyme if we have Lyme. Defend us to doctors, etc. (directly to them when appropriate and certainly at all times privately take our side never the side of an illiterate doctor.). Give us plenty of understanding and sympathy. Don't expect us to be happy or pleasant or in a good mood. Don't be p'd off at us for being unable to do things regular people can do--that includes work, household tasks, fun activities, etc. We are suffering intensely that we can't do these things--no one would be angry or nasty or blame someone with flu for being " disabled " for five days--don't know how anyone could even consider taking that attitude towards someone who been sick and disabled for YEARS ON END. Help us with practical stuff without making us feel guilty. REASSURE US OF YOUR LOVE AND COMMITTMENT AND DEVOTION TO US AND THAT YOU WILL ALWAYS BE THERE FOR AND WITH US EVEN IF WE NEVER GET WELL. Learn about Lyme so you'll be LL as much as possible and therefore can be more supportive about various Lyme issues public and private. Good luck Ant. Be very loving to her and never stop loving her. Never give up on the one you love and it's obvious you do love her. I'll be thinking of you. Madeleine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2002 Report Share Posted January 8, 2002 Hi Madeleine- Thanks for replying. I am trying to be there for her. She says she's getting better and maybe wants to go to work. I think she feels better than she has in a long time and the stress of being a " wife " is lifted making her feel even better. She says she loves me and likes me, but she's not sure if she loves me enough to be my wife. She's breaking my heart. I have been there for her throughout her illness (years) and now she decides she's feeling better, doesn't want a relationship, and wants to live by herself with her son. I am so confused by this. She can't explain her feelings and says she needs time to think things out. I have told her I will wait for her, but its tearing me apart inside. I think she thinks this is better for me! All I can do is give her space and pray for her. -Ant [ ] Re: Help Me Understand Hi Ant, I'm SO SORRY about your wife leaving.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2002 Report Share Posted January 8, 2002 Madeleine Writes: >>>>Give us plenty of understanding and sympathy. Don't expect us to be happy or pleasant or in a good mood. Don't be p'd>>>>>> We aren't happy because we feel so sick, but I don't ever remember being unpleasant because of a bad mood. Yes we are in pain, but there are a lot of people in the world in pain..........not just lyme people..........many in greater pain than our own.......some less than our pain. Most people I have encountered, are not really in bad moods, nor are they unpleasant, or nasty in anyway. They are usually subdued, with little or no enthusiasm, little energy, zombie like in their fog lyme state, and most of the time feel guilty for not being able to be happy for their loved ones.......sounds like your wife feels you deserve better, probably would be good if the two of you seek counseling.......it might bring some things out into the open.......that haven't been discussed. It sounds like your wife loves you too much to let you lose " living a normal life " and suffer with her. Call her up, surprise her with dinner. Romance her in a way, that will make her life easier, surprise her by bringing over dinner, higher someone to clean her house every other week, or little things mean the most.........and she may need medication, depressed people push away everyone, including the ones they love. Don't give up on your wife..........you fell in love, and married...........that is still there, only masked by sickness and depression. Conniek nwnj Leave no stone unturned.......and ask questions!

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2002 Report Share Posted January 9, 2002 Thanks - I did get some of your chocolate for a Christmas present. They are so good! I travel alot with my job also. I just couldn't tell when she was ill and when she was annoyed with me when I was home. To me she was just always feeling bad. I saw her this morning and she looked like she was feeling well (and she looked more beautiful than ever). I think the " space " is relieving some stress on her. I have been praying for the day when she could feel alive again. I truly hope she finds happiness, even if it isn't with me. Like Forest Gump says...Life is like a box of chocolates...you never know what you're gonna get.... Thanks again. I appreciate the groups insight and advice. I also apologize to those that don't want to read about relationship problems. -Ant Re: [ ] Re: Help Me Understand Ant, I am so very sorry for your family probs, truly am.

The treatment given to Hep C patients is actually a low dose of chemo - that's why all the side effects (hair loss, upset stomach, etc). I've been married to my husband for 20 years and still do not have Hep C, nor do my children. We're taking it one day at a time and have 2 more months till we find out if it's working or not.

I have no intention of leaving D over this and feel its just a test of our love for each other right now. I'm still planning the wedding just at a slower rate until we get thru lung surgery in 12 days. Next we'll deal with the hep C and see where that takes us. The funny thing about all this is that D has stated that he feels healthier than ever and can't believe this whole mess is happening now, neither can I.

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2002 Report Share Posted April 17, 2002 God bless you two. My hubby and I both has Hep c I am treating, he refuses to treat. ( don't blame him abit.) I think that many doctors really don't know what to say. Treatment is rough on both partners. Find out how much damage and to what extent there is in his liver is a good first step. Enjoy the wedding planning and event. Hep C is slow so it generally isn't something that you need to rush out and treat. ( now that is my opinion) Just take precausions that we should do anyway. Like not sharing toothbrushes, razors ie. Good hygene and hand washing is most important. and try to eat properly. Avoid to much tylenol.
